St John Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 With teams back training etc, who will be the teams to look out for in the Premier Division & Division 1 and who will be looking nervously at the trapdoor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offside! Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 There isn't a trapdoor if last season is anything to go by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teflon123 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would have thought the likes of Torpoint, Saltash, Tavistock will be there challenging as per usual and also St Austell. Dark horses for me are going to be St Dominick. Two very good managers in the dugout there who are locally very well known and judging by some of the signings they have already made, they have to be taken seriously. Bere Alston are always good for an upset and if they can have consistency in their locker, then they could be in with a shout. Looking forward to getting around all the grounds this season to watch every team and wish all Managers/Clubs the best for the coming season.

footymad Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Its going to be a great season in the ECPL. Changes at Torpoint, Saltash, St Dom, well pretty much every team in the league to be honest. The newly promoted sides will be strong just like Borough where last season. Polperro did well last season and so did Tavistock. Bere Alston had a great start to the season and then a slight dip, like Teflon said if they can stay consistent then they will be up there. I can't wait and wouldn't even know who to suggest would be 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Maybe a surprise package for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St John Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 St Dominick should be the the biggest improvers this season, a natural replacement for Edgcumbe at the business end of the division. My sources tell me that Plymstock will be better than last season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFan Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 The league hasn't been as strong as it has been in recent seasons, take nothing away from Toropoint who have ran away with it the last two years and previously. When it was really strong with the likes of Parkway, St Dennis & Sticker that was tough. We should see a return to those great battles in the next couple of seasons with the likes of Parkway rejoining, St Austell, St Blazey, Elburton then you still have your Tavistock's and Saltash etc. Clubs who can't get promoted but have the facilities to attract the best players. It's great to see 'lesser' clubs, and by lesser I mean those without established SWPL Prem teams pick their way through as St Dennis, Godolphin & others have done. If Polperro can start their season like they played the last 2/3 of it then they can win it, but as it stands it's Torpoints to lose. They lose players every year, and every year they still turn out a formidable squad. A big loss to local football is Edgcumbe although they still have a Duchy side. Reading their FB posts recently, if not for facilities (lack of) then they were surely the next St Dennis, Sticker, even Godolphin. As said, St Dominick could be a natural replacement as long as all those new signings have some longevity within them. One thing is for sure, the ECPL should return to its former strength soon, but for the time being Torpoint are red hot favourites to win it 3 years on the trot.
